Capital is set for worlds biggest shopping day Psychadelic: Christmas as lights go on last night Yeah baby: a go-go girl gets into the spirit by kevin widdopCONFETTI rained down on Carnaby Street last night to celebrate the switch-on of its spectacular Christ- mas lights. A psychedelic Sixties theme was unveiled as the famous street was filled with revellers in Austin Powers-style outfits. Giant inflatable pink rein- deer and brightly coloured suspended Christmas trees lined the pedestrianised road as it basked in a swinging Sixties Christmas disco with go-go dancers. Carnaby Street is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year and the theme is a nod to its status as a fashion hub in its heyday. The main thoroughfare and 12 adjoining streets were filled with decorations car- rying the messages of Love, Joy, Hope and Peace. Huge crowds turned out to see the mishmash of candy pink, acid green, pillar box red, bright yellow and purple mixed with classic tunes.
